The Weight of a Line is a solo exhibition by acclaimed Japanese artist Chihiro Kabata. An MFA graduate from the prestigious Musashino Art University, Kabata has an extensive exhibition history. She first gained recognition through major institutional shows like the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo’s MOT Annual 2011 and the Ueno Royal Museum’s VOCA Exhibition. Her career highlights also include a solo exhibition at the Fuchu Art Museum (2021) and participation in the internationally renowned Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennale (2022, 2024). Based in Tokyo and Yokohama, Kabata’s work has been featured in numerous prominent group exhibitions.
This exhibition marks a significant milestone in Kabata’s decade-long collaboration with INSTINC. A two-time participant in our international residency program, her journey with the gallery began with the “Project 6581” exchange in 2014, which culminated in an exhibition at the Japan Creative Centre in Singapore. This solo show is a powerful continuation of that enduring relationship, following her participation in INSTINC’s 20th-anniversary events in 2024.
